Dr. Jeffry Life
fitness expert. lifestyle changer. anti-aging guru
Jeffry S. Life, M.D., Ph.D. is the bestselling author of THE LIFE PLAN and MASTERING THE LIFE PLAN. He is a Senior Partner at Cenegenics, the world’s largest age-management medicine practice. [www.drlife.com]
At age 74, I know that the second half of life can be the best part of life. But in order to enjoy it, we have to actively reduce our risk for disease as we age. I don’t want anybody to go through even one day of experiencing poor health or worrying about their health when we know that longevity is directly linked to making the right lifestyle choices.
I came to this knowledge the hard way. Up until I was almost 60, I ate badly and I didn’t exercise, even though I had access to the latest studies in medicine. The turning point for me was when I got lab results that showed that I was on a path towards diabetes, heart disease, and death.
Then I got a hold of Bill Phillips’ “Muscle Media” magazine, read it, and decided to take my health back into my own hands. I entered his Body-for-LIFE contest in order to drop body fat and increase muscle mass and strength. With a single-minded focus I was able to win the contest for my age group that very same year.
Five years later, I learned about hormone replacement therapy, and at age 65, I added that to my regimen. It’s been almost ten years and I continue to see a steady improvement; the better I look, the healthier I have become.
This doesn’t mean that I’m perfect every day. But when I mess up I’ll take out my before photos to remind me of how far I’ve come. I’ll also get out my old cardiac report that showed that I had advanced coronary artery disease and give myself another wakeup call.
I know that what I’m preaching isn’t easy: taking care of our bodies is hard work. Every single thing we put in our mouths can either hurt us or help us. And the single biggest mistake people make is that they don’t do enough cardio training. But take it from me: medical science now has the knowledge and the technology that will enable all of us to follow a different path than our parents took with their aging process. We don’t have to resign ourselves to feeling old as we age. We just have to get started.
